Air Hawk - but not as we know it, Jim!

From the pages of the cheeky, raunchy 1960s-era newspaper, King's Cross Whisper, comes this delightful send-up of the 'Sunday funnies' newspaper page (dated 1967), which lampoons such American comics as Rip Kirby ("Rip 'tupya") and The Heart of Juliet Jones ("The Parts of Screwiet Skunge"), along with the Australian adventure series, Air Hawk ("Air Hog"). They just don't write 'em like these anymore, do they? (Image courtesy of Monash University Library Rare Book Collection).
